    Mission critical accesories

    I'm fully aware that the Hydros is designed to be the most budget-friendly controller out there. However, since its inception, I've noticed the hydros computers themselves are fantastic, IME/O suitable for mission critical monitoring applications in commercial life support situations. The...

    Forcing an output to be 'off' when another output is 'on'

    Is this possible? The only option I see is dependency, which isn't exactly what I want to do. Thanks!

    Device run time settings

    So I use Hydros for my ATO, and I just had a water sensor fail in the 'dry' setting which means the ATO just kept running (I love the Hydros, but I wish they had an option to purchase high quality made in western nation sensors instead of low quality Chinese sensors, I've had many sensors and...

    It would be awesome to have valves that were controllable by a Hydros drive port :)

    Skimmer level sensor for water clarity sensing?

    Hi, I have multiple systems with very large clams of various species and I'm concerned about the possibility of them spawning and not catching it in time. I was wondering if the skimmer level sensor detects the clarity of a liquid rather than the presence of a liquid, so that I may be able to...

    Being spammed by "device not responding" notifications

    To preface, I LOVE the hydros control systems and recommend them regularly. I wouldn't run an aquarium without one. However, they do seem to have a notorious (commonly seen on R2R) problem with Wi-Fi plugs, and unfortunately I'm not an exception. Whenever I add a Wi-Fi plug to any of my...

    Firmware won’t download

    I’m trying to update a new control X3 from 190 (out of the box) to 289. It won’t download either via the iOS app or in browser. It starts to download then fails. Ideas?

    Constantly getting notifications from a deleted output

    Hello, I had a wireless plug added to my XP8, then deleted it. However, I’m constantly getting notifications about it being offline. I disabled the alerts and removed the device, so now there isn’t even a way for me to modify the settings, and of course, I shouldn’t be getting alerts for a...

    Immediate link timeout

    I have a Control4 with the latest firmware, and three Wi-Fi power strips. Everything is working fine for a year and a half. Recently I unplugged my router, and now I cannot get one of the power strips to connect again. I get an immediate link time out whenever I try to link it in the app. The...

    Split on/off schedule in a single day?

    So, I’d like my halides to come on at 8am, turn off at 1pm, then turn back on at 5pm and off again at 9pm (Avoiding the hottest part of the day in the summer!). However, I can’t figure out how to do multiple on/off cycles in a single day on Hydros. Can anyone help me out? I feel like this is...

    Outlet timing question

    I’m considering how to ensure safety for my dosing pumps, for the eventuality of them failing, and just in case they fail ‘on’. I was thinking about using a smart outlet to come on for 2 minutes every hour (long enough to dose, then shut off). Is the Hydros/Smart outlets capable of this? Thanks!

    Controlling a VarioS?

    I have a VarioS 4 that has a 0-10v connector but it dkesbt seem that the Hydros has a setting for controlling DC pumps, beyond on and off. Am I correct that a Hydros 4 cannot control DC pump speed?
